DALLAS, Jan. 22, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Triumph Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq:TBK) (“Triumph”) today announced earnings and operating results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2017.

As part of how we measure our results, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures to ascertain performance.  These non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled in the section labeled “Metrics and non-GAAP financial reconciliation” at the end of this press release.

2017 Fourth Quarter Highlights 

  • For the fourth quarter of 2017, net income was $6.3 million and net income available to common stockholders was $6.1 million, compared to net income of $9.8 million and net income available to common stockholders of $9.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. Diluted earnings per share were $0.29 for the quarter ended December 31, 2017, compared to $0.47 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. 

  • Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 was impacted by (i) an income tax charge of $3.0 million related to the re‑measurement of our deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at our new expected effective tax rate due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), (ii) acquisition-related transaction costs of $1.7 million, and (iii) a $1.3 million impairment charge on core deposit intangible assets associated with acquired public deposits that management decided to no longer hold.

  • We report adjusted diluted earnings per share to remove the volatility of material gains and expenses related to merger and acquisition-related activities. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 were $0.34, compared to $0.47 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. 

  • Non-performing assets to total assets decreased to 1.21% at December 31, 2017 from 1.42% at September 30, 2017. Net charge-offs to average loans increased to 0.06% for the quarter ended December 31, 2017, compared to 0.00% for the quarter ended September 30, 2017.

  • Net interest margin (“NIM”) was 6.16% for the quarter ended December 31, 2017, compared to 5.90% for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. Adjusted NIM, which excludes loan discount accretion, was 5.93% for the quarter ended December 31, 2017, compared to 5.69% for the quarter ended September 30, 2017.

  • We closed our previously announced acquisition of nine branch locations in Colorado (the “Acquired Branches”) from Independent Bank Group, Inc.’s banking subsidiary Independent Bank on October 6, 2017 at which time we completed the core system conversion. We acquired $95.8 million of loans, assumed $160.7 million of deposits associated with the branches and recorded $3.3 million of core deposit intangible assets and $5.8 million of goodwill.

  • We closed our previously announced acquisition of Valley Bancorp, Inc. (“Valley”) and its community banking subsidiary, Valley Bank & Trust, on December 9, 2017 at which time we completed the core system conversion. We acquired $171.2 million of loans, assumed $293.4 million of deposits from Valley and recorded $6.1 million of core deposit intangible assets and $10.5 million of goodwill.

  • On January 19, 2018, we entered into an agreement to sell the assets (the “Disposal Group”) of Triumph Healthcare Finance (“THF”) and exit our healthcare asset based lending line of business. The decision to sell THF was made prior to the end of the fourth quarter, and at December 31, 2017, the fair value of the Disposal Group exceeded its carrying amount. As a result of this decision, the carrying amount of the Disposal Group, including loans with a recorded balance of $68.7 million, net of an allowance for loan and lease losses of $2.1 million, was transferred to assets held for sale.

  • Total loans held for investment increased $385.4 million, or 15.9%, to $2.811 billion at December 31, 2017, compared to $2.425 billion at September 30, 2017.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements. Any statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, predictions, forecasts, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “could,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “likely,” “intends,” “plans,” “pro forma,” “projects,” “estimates” or “anticipates” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases that are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and you should not rely on them as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise and we may not be able to realize them. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: our limited operating history as an integrated company; business and economic conditions generally and in the bank and non-bank financial services industries, nationally and within our local market area; our ability to mitigate our risk exposures; our ability to maintain our historical earnings trends; risks related to the integration of acquired businesses (including our acquisition of nine branches from Independent Bank in Colorado and Valley Bancorp, Inc.) and any future acquisitions; changes in management personnel; interest rate risk; concentration of our factoring services in the transportation industry; credit risk associated with our loan portfolio; lack of seasoning in our loan portfolio; deteriorating asset quality and higher loan charge-offs; time and effort necessary to resolve non-performing assets; inaccuracy of the assumptions and estimates we make in establishing reserves for probable loan losses and other estimates; lack of liquidity; fluctuations in the fair value and liquidity of the securities we hold for sale; impairment of investment securities, goodwill, other intangible assets or deferred tax assets; our risk management strategies; environmental liability associated with our lending activities; increased competition in the bank and non-bank financial services industries, nationally, regionally or locally, which may adversely affect pricing and terms; the accuracy of our financial statements and related disclosures; material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting; system failures or failures to prevent breaches of our network security; the institution and outcome of litigation and other legal proceedings against us or to which we become subject; changes in carry-forwards of net operating losses; changes in federal tax law or policy; the impact of recent and future legislative and regulatory changes, including changes in banking, securities and tax laws and regulations, such as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and their application by our regulators; governmental monetary and fiscal policies; changes in the scope and cost of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance and other coverages; failure to receive regulatory approval for future acquisitions; and increases in our capital requirements.

While forward-looking statements reflect our good-faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. All forward-looking statements are necessarily only estimates of future results. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from those expressed in or contemplated by the particular forward-looking statement, and, therefore, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or circumstances, except as required by applicable law. For a discussion of such risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, see "Risk Factors" and the forward-looking statement disclosure contained in Triumph’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 17, 2017 and Triumph’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 20, 2017.

  1. Triumph uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Triumph's operational performance and to enhance investors' overall understanding of such financial performance.  The non-GAAP measures used by Triumph include the following:

    • “Adjusted diluted earnings per common share” is defined as adjusted net income available to common stockholders divided by adjusted weighted average diluted common shares outstanding.  Excluded from net income available to common stockholders are material gains and expenses related to merger and acquisition-related activities, including divestitures, net of tax. In our judgment, the adjustments made to net income available to common stockholders allow management and investors to better assess our performance in relation to our core net income by removing the volatility associated with certain acquisition-related items and other discrete items that are unrelated to our core business.  Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding are adjusted as a result of changes in their dilutive properties given the gain and expense adjustments described herein.

    • "Tangible common stockholders' equity" is common stockholders' equity less goodwill and other intangible assets.

    • "Total tangible assets" is defined as total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets.

    • "Tangible book value per share" is defined as tangible common stockholders' equity divided by total common shares outstanding. This measure is important to investors interested in changes from period-to-period in book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets.

    • "Tangible common stockholders' equity ratio" is defined as the ratio of tangible common stockholders' equity divided by total tangible assets. We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in relative changes from period-to period in common equity and total assets, each exclusive of changes in intangible assets.

    • "Return on Average Tangible Common Equity" is defined as net income available to common stockholders divided by average tangible common stockholders' equity.

    • "Adjusted efficiency ratio" is defined as non-interest expenses divided by our operating revenue, which is equal to net interest income plus non-interest income. Also excluded are material gains and expenses related to merger and acquisition-related activities, including divestitures. In our judgment, the adjustments made to operating revenue and non-interest expense allow management and investors to better assess our performance in relation to our core operating revenue by removing the volatility associated with certain acquisition-related items and other discrete items that are unrelated to our core business.

    • "Adjusted net non-interest expense to average total assets" is defined as non-interest expenses net of non-interest income divided by total average assets. Excluded are material gains and expenses related to merger and acquisition-related activities, including divestitures.  This metric is used by our management to better assess our operating efficiency. 

    • "Adjusted yield on loans" is our yield on loans after excluding loan discount accretion from our acquired loan portfolio.  Our management uses this metric to better assess the impact of purchase accounting on our yield on loans, as the effect of loan discount accretion is expected to decrease as the acquired loans pay down or mature and are removed from our balance sheet.

    • “Adjusted net interest margin” is net interest margin after excluding loan accretion from the acquired loan portfolio.  Our management uses this metric to better assess the impact of purchase accounting on net interest margin, as the effect of loan discount accretion is expected to decrease as the acquired loans pay down or mature and are removed from our balance sheet. 

  2. Asset quality ratios exclude loans held for sale, except for non-performing assets to total assets.

  3. Current quarter ratios are preliminary.
